Traveling has been a passion of mine since I got my first passport at 6 months old (no joke!) I sat on my moms lap and made gaga sounds at the photographer. I started traveling alone at age 6 to visit my Aunt in Missouri every Summer. I haven't stopped since. Where I go, my camera follows. I love experiencing new places and capturing each one in my own way.
Over Labor Day weekend I was in the Midwest to shoot a wedding for a good friend. I spent the week in Chicago with another friend and took advantage of meeting some photographer buddies for a shoot!
Kayleen and I met on Myspace and she is a photographer from Rockford, IL. She was married last year and always wanted to have a trash the dress shoot! We met in Millenium Park in downtown Chicago. I brought along an old photog friend that I met at a Women in Photojournalism conference years and years ago, Tina Wagner.
The Bean. Can you spot me??
Gotta love parking garages!!
This is actually a fountain thing in Millenium Park. It shoots water out and changes backgrounds, as you will see below.
A shot of Tina getting her own angle!
The crew: Tina, Kayleen, me and Kayleen’s mom (who made a great assistant!)
I had such a blast that day, thanks for being such a trooper in that heavy dress, Kayleen! It was great to finally meet you!!
